## Why smart accounts

[Externally-owned accounts](/home/glossary.md#externally-owned-account) (EOAs) are controlled by a single private key, so one lost or leaked seed phrase means lost funds, and they can't enforce rules on how they're used. A smart account is a contract: ownership, signing thresholds, spending limits and recovery are programmable. Safe provides the audited contracts and the tooling to build wallets and applications on top of them.
